do you have to have caller id service from your phone company for this to work?

Yes, you do. The call blocker uses the caller ID to identify calls to reject or pass. Some call blockers use black listing to reject specific numbers. Some call blockers use white listing to pass only those numbers you wish to receive calls from. Some can do one or the other. Those that use white listing do a better job of blocking undesirable calls, but can sometimes be a pain when trying to receive calls from the doctor's office or the school. Probably more than you were interested in.

Yes it has caller ID----also has voice caller ID--- works well. You can hear who is calling before you read callers name.

HI, Page 10 of the manual. Your phone service and the callers phone service must have CID caller i d activated. If the caller suppressed their CID the phone shows "p". If the number could not be id' for other technical reasons the phone shows "o" or "e" Great price sorta weird euro phone! Have a great day!

No. Like Louis said you probably have caller ID. I have not been bothered by any of those idiots. Love my phone.

We no longer have these phones but when we did, we also had DSL but didn't have a problem with the caller ID - it always showed up so I'm not sure I can help. Sorry that wasn't very helpful at all.

I already had caller ID when Ibought this, so not sure. I bought it so I could monitor OUTGOING calls (time call was made and time length of call), because it tracks that as well, whereas standard modern phones do not. Will do this on any phone jack in the house, so if you have one not being used, nobody will notice this device.

You had to have Caller ID with your service provider and costs will vary. Other than that there isn't a charge to use it, just plug it into the phone line and let it do it's thing. Everything works as advertised.

Yes, it works without the captioning just like any phone. Yes, it has caller id.

Yes - but you need to understand that it is interpreting whatever the caller ID is showing so it might not make total sense.

Yes it does, it comes with a plug that you can hook up if you want the caller ID to work.

In my experience, it does not show the caller ID of the 'call waiting' caller. In my opinion, that is only a small drawback of a system that has so many other advantages. I love this phone system. Best I ever had.

It works with any phone provider that provides caller ID info, so if you have a phone and get the caller ID information when a all comes in it will work. I use the "white" list which allows me to put in the numbers I want to pass thru, those not on the white list get hung up on immediately all they hear is a click and best of all I hear nothing. I love it!

Quoting from the manual that comes with this phone "This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use Caller ID features, you must subscribe to a Caller ID service. Contact your service provider/telephone company for details." Net-net: if you now have Caller ID, this phone will display it. If you don't now have Caller ID, this phone won't display it unless you add Caller ID as a feature to your phone service. By the way...this really is a great phone set and I am one fussy guy.

Yes, Bob, you do. FYI This caller id did not last very long. My phone quit working and the phone people realized that it was a faulty caller id. I junked it and ordered a Bellsouth product. I have always had good results from their products.
